Answer
- Deemed
- Superfluous
The word although suggests a contrast between Blank (ii) and the positive description that follows, so it may be easier to start there. Superfluous means unnecessary and extra, which does contrast with “the human experience.” Critical, meaning important, does not. Preposterous means utterly absurd and is probably too strong a word for this situation.
Now, for Blank (i), to deem something superfluous means to judge or decide that it’s superfluous, which makes sense here. To abolish something is to end it, but this word is usually applied to established institutions, not college classes. Devise means to come up with something new, so a curriculum probably wouldn’t deliberately devise unnecessary classes.
Select one answer choice for each blank.
Although some curriculums have (i) ___________ courses such as art history to be (ii) ______________, they provide a connection between the human experience of the past and present.
- (i) abolished
- (i) devised
- (i) deemed
- (ii) critical
- (ii) superfluous
- (ii) preposterous
